2 The Smartpack Controller ( Short Description

2.4 Location of Connectors & Communication Ports

You can easily connect the Smartpack controller to a PC, plugging a standard USB A-B cable to the USB port on the front of the controller and to any available USB port on the computer. The Smartpack controller is configured from factory via DIP switched on the side with an ID number for CAN bus communication. On the controllers rear see Figure 4 you find two identical RJ45 CAN ports (for incoming and outgoing CAT5 twisted-pair cables) to connect the controller to the CAN bus. See also chapter CAN bus addressing and termination, on page 9.

2.5 CAN bus addressing and termination

The Smartpack controller is factory configured with a unique CAN bus ID number. When Flatpack2 rectifiers are plugged in the power shelves the first time, the Smartpack controller automatically assigns the rectifiers with the next available ID number, and automatically increases the number of communicating rectifiers on the CAN bus. When a previously installed rectifier is plugged in the power shelf again, it always sends its previous ID and serial number to the Smartpack controller. To ensure a correct bus communication and avoid data reflection, you must always terminate the CAN bus with two 120 resistors at both ends of the line, see Figure 7.

6.1 Functionality Description Flatpack2 DC Power Systems

In this chapter you can find helpful and more detailed descriptions of expressions, technical terms, functions, etc. used in Flatpack2 DC power supply systems. 6.1.1 Alarm Reset You can reset all active alarms with the Smartpack controllers front keys (e.g. UserOption>AlarmReset). The controller will immediately report alarm conditions that are still active. The Flatpack2 DC power system can be configured with automatic or manual alarm reset. When Automatic Alarm Reset is enabled (default) and the alarm condition no longer exists the Smartpack controller will switch the alarm indicators and relays to indicate that normal operation is established. When Manual Alarm Reset is enabled and the alarm condition no longer exists the operator must reset the alarm manually.

6.1.2 Display System Voltages You can display important system voltages with the Smartpack controllers front keys (e.g. UserOption>VoltageInfo), as listed below: o o o o o o o o NomVolt Nominal output voltage BoostVolt Battery boost-charging voltage LowBatt1 Voltage limit for Low Battery Alarm 1 LowBatt2 Voltage limit for Low Battery Alarm 2 HighBatt1 Voltage limit for High Battery Alarm 1 HighBatt2 Voltage limit for High Battery Alarm 2 LVD 1 Voltage limit for Low Voltage Disconnect unit 1 LVD 2 Voltage limit for Low Voltage Disconnect unit 2

6.1.3 Display Alarm Messages (Alarm Log) You can browse through the stored alarm messages using the Smartpack controllers front keys (e.g. UserOption>DisplayMessages). The Smartpack controllers alarm log may store up to 1000 chronological events. Each log entry contains event text, event action, time and date. When the log is full, the oldest value is overwritten. The log is stored in EEPROM.

6.1.4 Plug-and-Play Flatpack2 Rectifiers (Rectifier Info) You can display the number of communicating Flatpack2 rectifiers in the system by using the Smartpack controllers front keys (e.g. UserOption>Rectifier Info). The following rectifier information is available in the Smartpack controller: o Number of rectifiers installed in the system. o Rectifier ID and serial number o Rectifier current o Rectifier input voltage o Rectifier temperature o Rectifier status The green LED on the rectifier front panel will flash while the controller is accessing information from a specified rectifier. The Smartpack controller sends out status messages every 200ms to all the Flatpack2 rectifiers connected to the CAN bus, such as: o The Smartpack controllers status o Current Limit Reference o Measured Output Voltage o Reference Output Voltage o Over-voltage Protection Reference o Etc.

When a previously installed Flatpack2 rectifier is inserted in a power shelf, it always sends its previous ID and serial number to Smartpack controller, which checks if this ID is below the number of rectifiers installed. The following communication sequence is followed when a new Flatpack2 rectifier is inserted in a Flatpack2 power shelf: o o o The installer inserts Flatpack2 rectifier The rectifier module sends a log-on request to the Smartpack controller If the rectifiers serial number is already present in the controller: Send to rectifier the same ID as previously assigned to the serial number Else If any ID is not responding to the controller: Take this ID and send it to the rectifier Else Take next free ID (last ID+1) and send it to the rectifier Increment the number of modules communication in the CAN bus

When a system reset is activated, the number of rectifiers is recalculated, and only the number of communicating rectifiers at the moment will be counted. If for instance rectifier number 4 of a total of 10 rectifiers is in error, nine will be reported and rectifier 10 will be assigned ID 4. Rectifier alignment before Reset: 10 rectifiers, ID 4 is in error

6.1.5 Mains Assignment versus Rectifier ID Normally, the rectifier ID number 1 is assigned to mains phase 1, the rectifier ID number 2 is assigned to mains phase 2 and rectifier ID number 3 is assigned to mains phase 3. If rectifiers with ID number 1, 2 and 3 fails, the rectifier with ID number 4, 5, and 6 will take their positions. An alarm monitor is used for the mains phases. In a three phase system, the alarm monitor can e.g. be configured to report a warning if one phase fails, and to report an alarm if two phases fail.

6.1.6 About Battery Banks, strings, etc

Battery Block (12V)

Normally, battery banks are implemented by connecting in parallel several battery strings; each string is formed by battery blocks connected in series. Figure 11 Example of a 48V battery bank implemented with two 48V battery strings; each string consists of four 12V battery blocks

Battery String #1 (48V) Battery String #2 (48V)

6.1.7 Symmetry Mid-point, Double Mid-point or Block Measurements

Symmetry Block Measurement Four measurement point per string

Symmetry Mid-point Measurement One measurement point per string

Symmetry measurement is a battery monitoring method of automatically detecting unbalanced battery blocks. Symmetry monitoring of a battery string may be performed by measuring each battery block (block measurement method), by only measuring from the mid-point of the battery string to one end (mid-point measurement method) and by measuring from the mid-point of the string to both ends (double midpoint measurement method). The mid-point measurement method requires one symmetry cable per battery string, the double midpoint measurement method requires two symmetry cable per battery string, while the block measurement method requires 4 symmetry cables per battery string. Flatpack2 cabinetized systems are normally delivered with the symmetry measurement method and the number measurement points already preprogrammed in the Smartpack controller. Any deviation from factory settings requires Symmetry reconfiguration via the PowerSuite PC program.

Double Symmetry Mid-point Measurement Two measurement point per string
